Hey there,

So as of yesterday, I am no longer able to be directly connected to my router. I'm in the upstairs of my house and our setup was upstairs, but it has been moved to our downstairs so I am not able to be direct connect for the time being.

Looking to get a wireless adapter or even a WiFi card to put into my computer, whichever is the best option. I'm admittedly not sure which option would be the best.

Currently we have a dual band router, so I'd like to utilize the 5ghz band if possible with this adapter. I've looked myself but I wanted to get some recommendations from you guys before I make a decision.

Appreciate any input at all, thanks :)

Thanks but.. We just got a new router from our ISP, looking to get an adapter for my PC.

Just looking for one of those USB wireless adapters or a physical card to put into my PC to make it so I can connect to WiFi.
